 By purchasing a ticket you agree with GAPSA’s anti-harassment expectations outlined below:

Anti-Harassment PolicyPurposeGAPSA is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all participants, free from harassment based on age, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, disability, health conditions, socioeconomic status, marital status, domestic status, or parental status (hereafter, simply harassment). “Participants” in this policy refers to anyone present at GAPSA meetings, including students, staff, faculty, vendors, and other attendees.

Expected BehaviorAll participants at GAPSA meetings and events are expected to abide by this Anti-Harassment Policy in all meeting venues including ancillary events as well as official and unofficial social gatherings.

Follow the norms of professional respect that are necessary to promote the conditions for free academic interchange. If you witness potential harm to a participant, be proactive in helping to mitigate or avoid that harm. Alert GAPSA organizers or Penn Police if you see a situation in which someone might be in imminent physical danger.

Unacceptable BehaviorHarassment consists of a single intense and sever act or of multiple persistence or pervasive acts which are demeaning, abusive, offensive, or create a hostile professional or workplace environment. Harassment may include sexual solicitation, physical advance, or verbal or non-verbal conduct that is sexual in nature; it may also include threatening, intimidating, or hostile acts; circulation of written or graphic material that denigrates or shows hostility toward an individual or group; epithets, slurs, or negative stereotyping based on group identity.
